2026 BUDGET: CHALLENGE AND RESPONSE
THE YEAR AHEAD
It is great news - We are close to being able to start the year with a balanced budget that will allow us to do many of the things we believe God is calling us to do as a Church in 2026.
The difference between income and expenditure for 2026 is a shortfall of £42,000.
In order to fully balance the books and achieve a break-even result we need to increase our giving.
WHAT NEXT
Please Pray
For the PCC (Parochial Church Council), the clergy, and staff as we continue to seek to know what God wants us to do as the Church.
For ourselves as we consider what we should be doing in the Church.
Then, if you are able - Give
Can you increase your regular giving or make a one-off gift?
Or start giving for the first time?
Or consider adding a legacy to your will?
Finally, please respond
Tell us your intention, by completing the online response form:
(Alternatively there is a printable pdf version of the response form).
Paper copies of the form are available from the church office, or email: office@stpb.co.uk
